Location: Warren,Pa.		Question: Of the employees who worked at the Ovation factory before Fender took over, how many still have jobs there?

I haven't been in that building since Fender, and I think of the faces of the people who worked there...people who made an average of $17/hr. plus benefits and were under pressure from China ( where they make $2/hr. and no benefits). Just wondering how many US citizens got pink slips from Fender, and how many people in Asia got those jobs.

Location: south east Michigan		I can understand your concern and curiosity, but I don't think this is any of our business.
At least not on the open board.

None of us can state facts so all we'd have left is speculation

Location: NJ		I can state facts but again I think ultimately some jobs were saved by Guild and some lost. There were some folks on the verge of retirement and others who took early retirement so I am sure the final number is not as bad as it actually should be.

one thing I learned in statistics class is all statistics can be manipulated.


Leave this one lie it is not a good topic here

Location: Upper Left USA		Statistically speaking... half of us reading this post are below average.

Even when we post twice.
